BOTTLE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Oct. 2, 1906.

Application filed March 7,1906. Serial No. 304,730.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, AARON BLOOM, a citizen of the United States ofAmerica, residing at Rochester, in the county of Beaver and State ofPennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inBottles, of which the following is a specification, refer ence being hadtherein to the accompanying drawings.

This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements inbottles; and the inobject the provision of novel means in connectionwith a bottle whereby the bottle cannot be refilled and corked or sealedto present an appearance similar to the original article.

Another object of this invention is to provide a non-refillable bottlewhich will dispense with the nefarious practice of refilling bottlesthat originally contained popular brands of liquidsand selling the sameagain for the original article.

A further object of this invention is to provide a bottle which cannotbe opened an used without being disfigured, and in this connection Ihave devised a simple and inexpensive bottle which can be used forvarious urposes.

With the above and other objects in view, which will more readily appearas the nature of the invention is better understood, the same consistsin the novel construction and arrangement of parts to be hereinaftermore fully described and claimed, and, referring to the drawingsaccompanying this application, like numerals of reference designatecorresponding parts throughout the several views, in which Figure 1 is avertical sectional view of a bottle constructed in accordance with myinvention. Fig. 2 is a similar view of a bot tle in a sealed condition.Fig. 3 is a similar view illustrating a bottle after it has been opened.Fig. 4 is a fragmentary sectional view of an opened bottle that has beenrecorked, and Fig. 5 is a plan of the top of my improved bottle upon anenlarged scale.

To put my invention into practice, I con struct my improved bottle of areceptacle 1, having a contracted and flared neck portion 2, the upperedge of which is provided with an annular collar 3 and with a pluralityof inwardly-extending segment-shaped lips or lugs 4. The receptacle 1 ofthe body is provided with a central hollow stem or dome 5, which extendsupwardly within the receptacle into close proximity to the contractedand flared neck portion 2 thereof. The con tracted neck portion 2 isprovided at its smaller diameter with an annular groove 6, forming anannular neck 7, which permits of the neck portion of the bottle beingreadily severed from the receptacle thereof.

In connection with the bottle I employ an ordinary cork 8 for closingthe same, the cork being adapted to fit within the neck 2 and rest uponthe top of the stem or dome 5. To retain the cork within the neckportion 2 of the bottle, I use a suitable cement 9, which is placedwithin the neck portion and retained therein by lips or lugs 4. Thecement when first placed in-the neck portion is in a plastic orsemifluid condition and is of such a nature as to harden when exposed tothe atmosphere and permitted to dry.

After my improved bottle has been filled and properly sealed it is onlypossible to open the same by severing the neck portion 2 from thereceptacle thereof, this operation removing the cork 8, which adheres tothe cement of the neck portion of the bottle. After the neck has beensevered from the receptacle of the body the contents of the bottle canbe removed and the bottle may be refilled and corked, as illustrated inFig. 4 of the drawings, but never to resemble its originalappearancethat is, having a contracted and flared neck portion 2.

By the construction of my improved bottle it is possible to detect theopening of the bottle after it has been once sealed, and the manyadvantages of such a bottle will be apparent to those having use for thesame.

Such changes in the construction of my improved bottle as arepermissible by the appended claims may be resorted to without departingfrom the spirit and scope of the invention.

What I claim, ters Patent, is

1. A bottle of the type described embodying areceptacle having acontracted and flared neck portion, said neck portion having an annulargroove formed therein at its smallest diameter, a dome or stem carriedwithin said receptacle and extending in close proximity to said neckportion to support a cork therein, inwardly-extending lips carried bysaid neck portion and adapted to retain a cement in engagement with saidcork, substantially as described.

2. A bottle of the type described embodyand desire to secure by Leting areceptacle having a neck portion, a stem carried within said receptacleand extending in close proximity to said neck portion to support a corktherein, inwardly-extending lips carried by said neck portion andadapted to retain cement in engagement with said cprk, said neck havinga groove whereby the neck portion may be easily severed from saidreceptacle, substantially as described.

3. A bottle of the type described embodying a receptacle having a neckportion, and a stem carried Within said receptacle and adapted tosupport a cork in said neck portion, the-said neck having a weakenedportion whereby it may be easily severed from the re- I 5 ceptacle.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in the presence of twowitnesses.
